Praise for Collected Poems: From the author of A SUITABLE BOY
-
A phenomenon, a prodigy, a marvel ... It is hard to believe that Seth is only one man - Evening Standard
-
A SUITABLE BOY may prove to be the most fecund as well as the most prodigious work of the latter half of this century - perhaps even the book to restore the serious reading public's faith in the contemporary novel ... You should make time for it. It will keep you company for the rest of your life - The Times
-
The language has a remarkably direct, almost naive fullness of rhythm and rhyme ... extraordinary - Guardian on THE RIVERED EARTH
-
Such writing reminds us that there are secrets beyond technique, beyond style, which have to do with a quality of soul on the part of the writer, a giving of oneself - Guardian on A SUITABLE BOY
